fwiw, I think that you're correct depending on where you are in the lineup . . .
At the lower end (320/330 vs A4), I'd go for the BMW (and as I've said before, hold my nose when I get into the interior).
At the higher end (340 vs S4), I'd go for the Audi.
At the uber end (M4 vs RS4), I'd go for the BMW.
You see, although I drive an Audi right now, I'm really "BMW Guy". But Audi's upper end (S4 and S6) are far more dynamically superior to the current 340 and the old 550. I believe that's why BMW is moving to "sport-up" this part of their range. I'd bet that the new M550 will be a better car than the current S6, and that the next-gen M340 will be better than the new S4.
